You need root access to delete bloatware, after rooted you can use cleanmaster to uninstall bloatware
And after that you can full unroot your device

Be sure to wipe your cahce after deleting apps........................

Thank you, guys. I know what to do. You've helped me a lot.

Tks for your comment. However, I have tried the option "Search For ADB" which lead me to google, but I can't find my device Wolfgang AT-AS40SE on the internet. I also contact the manufacturer, but they hesitate to contact me...

you could try this tool:

someone with the AT-AS40SE had his phone rooted with this tool. One problem though.. the tool itself is chinese.

That's bad luck
Well if you were to root it make sure you follow that thread. Stay away from toolkits. You'll learn more and run into less problems. :good:
And as for the rogue app, if it's not solved then maybe the only way is to root it and freeze or delete it. I'm pretty certain you would be able to find it once you root but hope there are others who know much more than me come and help

Remove Stock Apps [rooted phone]

Hi,
this might be a stupid question, but ...
ive successfully rooted my phone and now i want to remove those annoying stock apps. Can anyone tell me how to do this ?
Thank you!
Use apps like System App remover or titanium backup, etc which are available at play store. But make sure not to remove some important apps which may be important for the os. Remove only those you know very well and what it does and you're sure that removing it won't be a problem.
To be honest, they take up very little space and uninstalling some of them can lead to problems. Your best bet is to long press them in your app drawer, drag them to App Info and then disable them (or freeze them in Titanium Backup, same thing). Then they're hidden but you can re-enable them if there are any issues.
yeah worked - thank you!
i only removed the obvious once like drive, g+ etc

Just so you know, you won't be able to install the OTA when it comes with any system app removed. You'll have to replace those apps.

No it won't work for clean install......
If you wipe system the script will be deleted...
If you are installing same rom without wiping system it will work...
In simple words.... It will not work for clean install.
If you are confused

No I'm not. I'm sorry if you feel that way. Sometimes I do a clean install of ROMs so I was asking you if you knew how would I backup of Pixel launcher data like icons and folders?
I'm sorry for confusion I didn't mention specifically before.

Ohh.... Now I get it.....backing up homescreen icons.... No it's not possible via this script..... I think apps like titanium backup can do it.... Though I never tried it..... Not sure..

I tried Titanium Backup but unfortunately it didn't work. In this case, googling isn't helping much either.
